Seeing that toppling tower makes me chuckle as I have many in my home and studio, and metaphorically in my life! I think that dealing with these towers involves getting past the things we don't want to deal with. It is so much easier to stuff it into a corner and keep piling it up until you don't realize how high the pile has become and it crashes down. Or worse. Blocks you from getting out and into your creative zone. So I am with you, word-sister, and we can make this BALANCE happen this year with each others' support! I wish you joy in the journey this year! Enjoy the day.

I find it terribly hard to keep my "area" clean and organized when I am creating, as I am singly focused on finishing whatever it is I am working on "at the moment". You have a lot on your plate this year - and I am so excited for all of the opportunities that have presented themselves to you and that you have chosen to ACT ON - Bravo!- I have no doubt that you will triumph! My favorite saying of all time is "don't sweat the small stuff"...helps me to put things in perspective! Patti Vanderbloemenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14899971311953499881noreply@blogger.com
